BAJA MERC

[Dr. Cranky]

I pulled this WIP off the shelf, where it'd been sitting for almost a year, and finally finished it . . . added some little touches you'd have to strain to see, but they made the build extra fun. There are plenty of more pics in my Fotki archives. Enjoy. BTW, I used Tamiya flat paints on this one to give it that beach-side satin look . . .

Here's a picture of the detailed interior . . . I used graphics from the internet and printed them on paper, then cut out the patterns for the panels . . .used white glue to make everything stay in place.

The owner of this vehicle is a big time fan of Mexican Wrestling (Lucha Libre) and the lotery . . . not to mention he's got a weak spot for tassels . . .

Here are some glamour shots:

If you squat down low enough, you can see the tassels . . . etc . . .

Virgil that thing is sick, the interior and paint is fantastic! I love it!

First I thought it was literally a BAJA Merc, like a trophy truck sort of thing and that goes on the 1000 mile trek!
